What do we offer?
We offer a variety of pre-k options ranging from an accelerated full day preschool experience to a half day pre-k readiness room. Our preschool is a fully inclusive program with half day programs for children 3-5 years old up to a full day, rigorous program designed to get children prepared for kindergarten. For special needs intervention, children must qualify as a result of an educational evaluation. This evaluation is provided FREE of charge. Preschool screenings are available in order to determine the need for an educational evaluation.

What if I need an educational evaluation?
If you suspect that your child has a delay in pre-academic skills, language skills, motor skills, social skills, or self-help skills, you can request a FREE development screening. If the results of the screening indicate possible delays, further testing by professionals using standardized tests, observation, and parent interview will be scheduled. The results are then reviewed by the parent and evaluators to determine if an area of eligibility exists.

- Developmental Therapy
